my part in the new Vampire Diaries….

model Pi, and my first asst

 

Recently I shot 3 covers for The Vampire Diaries Series by L.J. Smith for HarperCollins Publishers. The first one is set to be released in 2009. The art director is top notch creative genius David Caplan, and the designer is the beautiful and talented Jennifer Heuer. The shoot went amazingly well, and we had a lot of fun. The finals are awesome and I’m really excited to see them on the covers, we had 3 gorgeous models; 2 girls and Pi (whom you see above). Shoots like this are always so much fun, especially when your working with the best team in the business and everyone has hearts made of solid gold.

The first cover will be released in ‘09

Until then…check out my other work here.

Taking Back Sunday at the Studio

On a rainy Friday afternoon I had the pleasure of shooting rock band Taking Back Sunday. You can see the article and picture in the amazing Alternative Press Magazine’s Most Anticipated Albums of ‘09 December Issue. ON NEWSSTANDS NOW!

 

 

Everyone laughed on set so much my cheeks hurt. I could write a million books about what a great group of guys they are. They are funny, intelligent, witty, kind……. just keep inserting adjectives for days and you’ll get a taste of how amazing these guys are. Eddie, who you can tell is the life of every and any party, jumped about 6 feet in the air, crossed his legs and arms and became the flying Buddha. Newcomer to TBS, Fazzi, is the perfect match to the group, carefree, funny, no fear and no ego. I actually found out I went to high school with the brother of the ever sweet and wild TBS drummer Marc…small world.  Adam is a total dream and the camera loves him (as all the fans already know), and Matt R not only jumps high in the air and lands quieter than a  ninja, is hilarious and quite a dancer.

 

 

We did one setup in the rain (my favorite of the bunch), with them all looking sexy and sensational, one setup is inspired by NYC per their request, and another is my take on Mr Potato Head meets graph paper. As an extra we did a family Sear’s style Portrait.

The new album, NEW AGAIN, is on its way, and they were so excited about the songs and about what they had created I can tell this will be one of the best new albums.

FINAL SHOTS COMING SOON!!
